When one recalls the wilingness of concecutive heads with no doubt consultation of Rabbi’s at the time, the Jewish community assisted more than one Catholic identity over the years.
Mary MacKillop for one and Sister of Charity Fabian another who automatically comes to mind.
Fabian founded St Vincents Hospital and where money wasn’t forthcoming from the Church, it was the charity of our Jewish brothers and others who made it possible, with the Vatican then giving permission for the foundations to be laid.
That hospital has since served the community well and you are all indirectly a part of that legacy.
Just a little history.
